Hi, i love the launchbox app, but now i'm trying to import dos games from abandonware site gamesnostalgia.com, which came configured for dosbox in a .lnk file.

if you look at the web help, it says they already configured all games for running in a .bat file:

But when i look for the .bat file, it says its a .lnk and launchbox can't open it.

I'll appreciate any help you could give me :D

PD: I tryed Heroes of Might & Magic 2 only. if anyone can set it, here is the link to download page:

If you try to use the .exe file from the main directory, it says it needs the original cd. If you use the .lnk file outside Launchbox, the game works fine

I'm not a DOSbox expert, but the link you put to that game says it already includes DOSbox and is configured for it, so I would think it would work if you imported it like a PC game into Launchbox using the batch file.

There are others here who know much more than me about DOSbox games.
